The wine is Zweigelt 2005 from Sepp Moser in the Neusiedlersee region. The back label suggest service with pasta or lamb and slightly chilled at 13-15 C. It comes in a bottle with screw cap.
Zweigelt is a red wine grape developed in 1922 in Austria, by Fritz Zweigelt. It is a hybrid of Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. Although grown mostly in Austria, a little is grown elsewhere including Canada.
It often is in the style of a Beaujolais, although fuller versions, which I have not had, are supposed to be made also.
This wine reminded me much of a regional Beaujolais. It has deep blue- scarlet color. There is an intense bouquet of grapes, much as in much Beaujolais designed for drinking fairly soon. There is plenty of acid, but little tannin. Perhaps there is a certain spice-herb character in the wine that is different from that in Beaujolais, but I dare say that many would believe you if you told them the wine was a regional Beaujolais. It was of reasonable price, and decent for what it is. At least for my taste, I would not want to serve it with Colorado lamb, which I would consider too rich for this wine. Perhaps it would be better suited for some lambs living in the Alps that get plenty of exercise climbing to keep much of the fat off :-).
I am not a big fan of the lighter styles of Beaujolais, and I doubt if I will drink much of this style of Zweigelt either. It would be interested to try one of the fuller versions of Zweigelt. Perhaps it would be a much better match for Colorado lamb.
